Job description

Downies Collectables Pty Ltd – Mitcham VIC

Hi there! We’re Australia’s most loved collectables brand - part heritage, part e-commerce, part treasure hunt. From coins and banknotes to memorabilia, model cars and rare finds, we work with a passionate community of collectors who genuinely get excited about what we do.

At Downies, we deal in more than products, we deal in passion, stories, and the thrill of the find. With decades of expertise and a fast-moving modern operation behind the scenes, we’ve built a business with real personality, loyal customers, and plenty of momentum. (Not to mention wonderful shiny things.)

Now, we’re looking for a Graphic Designer to join our Marketing team and help bring our products, campaigns and brands to life.

Your Role

This is a hands-on design role with plenty of variety.

You’ll work closely with the Marketing Manager and wider team to create engaging, on-brand work across digital and print, from major campaigns and product launches to the everyday creative that keeps our brands moving.

One day you might be developing the creative for a new product launch, the next you could be working on an email campaign, social content, website assets or a piece heading off to print.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll have the opportunity to work across a genuinely broad mix of creative, including:

• Designing creative for marketing campaigns, product launches, sales and events
• Creating assets for email, social media, paid advertising, websites and landing pages
• Producing print collateral including advertising, flyers, signage and product inserts
• Developing campaign concepts and helping turn marketing ideas into engaging creative
• Adapting designs across different channels, formats and specifications
• Keeping our creative consistent, polished and unmistakably Downies

There’s a lot of variety, so we’re looking for someone who enjoys jumping between projects and can take a brief, understand what we’re trying to achieve and turn it into something that looks great and works.

What We’re Looking For

You’ll ideally bring:

• 2+ years of graphic design experience, ideally in marketing, retail or eCommerce
• Strong Adobe Creative Cloud skills, particularly Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign
• A great eye for typography, layout, hierarchy and the finer details
• Experience designing for both digital and print
• Some experience with video editing, motion graphics or animated digital content
• The ability to juggle multiple projects and deadlines without losing attention to detail
• Strong communication skills and a collaborative approach
• A portfolio showing us what you can do

Experience with eCommerce, email marketing, social creative, Shopify, digital advertising or commercial print production would be a bonus.

Ok, But Why?

Because you won’t be designing the same thing every day.

You’ll get to work across an unusual mix of products and campaigns, from Australian coins and rare collectables to model cars and memorabilia, with plenty of opportunities to see your work go from an idea on a screen to something our customers actually interact with.

You’ll be part of a close-knit Marketing team where you can contribute ideas, have real ownership of your work and make a visible impact on how our brands show up.

Lots of variety. Plenty of creative freedom. Work you’ll actually get to see out in the world.

Come join us!
